FAQ4

Q: "How do I hunt for food?"
A: Most fish and game animals can be hunted with your ordinary weapon.
Some of the smaller animals, though, are too fast to hit with your sword.
You can hunt for them with your "missile
weapon" (sling or bow).

The command 'recover'
will pick up missiles that
are on the ground and in corpses and put them in your quiver. Note that
if the animal you are shooting it is still alive, you cannot yet get the
arrows back!

Q: "OK, I've killed something, now what?"
A: To get meat from a corpse
you need a knife. Daggers, stilettos, and some other weapons
will do. Remove your other
weapon, wield your butchering
tool, and type 'butchercorpse'.
This is also the way to get furs and skins from animals that have them.

Don't forget to re-wield your ordinary weapon (if you have one) when you
are done butchering! If you do not want to wield
the knife each time you want to butcher
something, you can simply wear
the knife on your belt - if
you have one.

Q: "Now I have some meat, do I just eat
it raw?"
A: You can. But you can also cook
it, if you have a pan. Type
'camp' to start a campfire.
Then hold the pan
and type 'cook meat'. This
will improve the quality of the food.
Cooking will also work if
you wear your pan
on your belt.

Q: "How do I use the fishing
rod?"
A: Sit on or next to a lake
or stream, hold the rod, and
type "fish".
